Dungeons & chains

Alexis

I swear to God it takes West an eternity to twist the doorknob and open the door. In all actuality, it probably takes about two seconds. But I’m losing track of time, like everything is creeping in slow motion, like I’m blazed out of my mind or something. Perhaps the drugs injected into my system are causing it. Or perhaps my increasing body temperature is making me hallucinate. Or maybe I have a fever.

I open my mouth to ask West if the drug put in me has any side effects, but then he opens the door all the way and all words are lost.

I’m not sure what I expected, but definitely not some sort of dungeon looking room with padded, soundproof walls and chains bolted into the cement floor. Bars line the ceiling along with a single spotlight, the florescent lighting nearly blinding. And all of that is just the room part. I haven’t even got started on what the people in the room are doing.

Minus West, Ellis, and I, two other people occupy the room. One of them is a guy, with shoulder length brown hair, and he’s wearing black cargo pants and a matching hoodie. The metal cuffs of the chains are secured around his wrists, his nose is bleeding, and welts cover his face. He looks utterly miserable and beaten, on the verge of death. I wonder if he’s going to die. I wonder if I should be frightened.

Why am I not more frightened?

“Is that the guy who tranquilized me?” I whisper to no one in particular.

“Yeah, it is.” Ellis’s breath touches my ear as he responds.

I nearly jump out of my skin from his unexpected nearness. “That’s what I thought.” My gaze wanders to the other guy in the room, a guy I met only today, yet again, I feel like I’ve met him before.

Steel.

Holy hell, he looks even scarier than before. And, even though I hate admitting it, kind of hot.

Unlike the first time I saw him, he’s stripped off his shirt and is now only wearing jeans secured by a studded belt and thick combat boots. Sleeves of bright ink and intricate patterns tattoo his lean arms and chest and sweat drips down his rock solid abs.

Holy shit, Masie would be flippin’ swooning herself to death right now.

My heart instantly clutches at the thought of Masie.

Stop thinking about her! The girl you thought was your best friend never existed. You need to forget about her.

Yeah, easier thought than actually done since almost every one of my memories for the last four years consists of Masie and I.

I swallow a lump wedged in my throat, wishing I could wipe my brain clean of her. And Blaine.

West abruptly swipes his finger along the inside of my wrist, drawing my attention to him.

You okay? He mouths.

I nod, not only lying to him but also lying to myself. Because deep down, I’m not okay. I’m hurt. And confused. And worried.

West searches my eyes, a pucker forming at his brow, and I question if he can see the truth hidden inside me.
